Hulk #1

Hulk #1

Jennifer Walters, formerly She-Hulk...now just Hulk (because Hulk is dead remember) is a female lawyer type recovering from her Civil War II comatose (aren’t we all?!). She just called Hulk now because her cousin, the Hulk, is dead. Clint Barton killed him. Yes that Clint Barton. We start to see the fallout of Civil War II now in these titles. She-Hulk was comatose by Thanos when fighting him and by the time she woke up Bruce Banner had been killed.

Jennifer is going through something we’ve all had to face in our lives. That horribly awkward first day at work. As awkward as it is there is some instant comic relief after she makes it through the gaggle of co-workers.

The issue has Jennifer meeting her new clients at her new law firm and getting on with life after the death of Bruce but it will delve a little deeper into the psyche of recovery and psychology from the looks of it.

The series is written by Mariko Tamaki. Who is Mariko Tamaki I hear you asking, well hang on and let me Google it for you. She is a graphic novelist (thanks Wikipedia) and apart from working on one other project (Supergirl: Being Super) she has not worked in mainstream comics before.

I think it’s really great and definitely not completely hypocritical that Marvel and DC have brought in more female writers in order to write female-only stories.

Definitely great.

Not hypocritical.

Issue #1 was very enjoyable with an absolutely creeper of an ending.
Issue #2 is out on the 25th of January.
